 As he is only going a short distance, he drops his coat and lunch where he IS, takes one longing look in the direc- tion of the spring, and :hc=, trying to cheer up his Tagging spirits with the remark, ''Never mind, old boy, they'll lie down pretty soon, and then you'll get a rest" starts after them.
 He has not gone far when he sees the last of the strays disappear over the hill, but he is sure he will find them just on the other side. True enough, he finds them just where he expected to, and with hopeful heart starts to run them back, but just about then those sheep imagine that the herd is in the opposite direction. Go in the direction ne wants them to, they will not, and the herder gets thoroughly excited and angry. Visions of the sheep in the other band running all over tine country fill his mind, while he feels some doubt as to whether he knows exactly where he left his coat and lunch; then, too,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In regard to

mistake. IL was ia nine battles, and lost nearly
half its number Of between 1000 aud ], 100

wounded twice at Hatcher's Run, Oct. "a, 1864.

every battle that our regiment was in. The

The l55th was at the surrender OF Lee, and lost

raised. From the first day We landed, at the
battle of Chapin's Farm, Sept. 20, until the 9th
OF April, we were constantly under fire, either
in battle or on picket or the skirmish-line.

Some Things oOmrade Would Like to Understand.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Mai swigart,
in writing of the part taken by the old
Twelfth Division in the battle Of Champion
Hills, says: "Our brigade was formed from
right TO left, as follows: oath and 3ith Iud.,
18th Wis. aud the 46th and 18th Iud. The
Second Brigade was on our left, but i DO
not know just how IL was deployed" Now,
i would like TO ask the Major if he is positive
that ne knows how the First Brigade was
formed. If his formation is the correct one,
then / must say that it was terribly mixed be-
fore the battle was over. l. ii not fact that
the l4th Ind. formed the right of our brigade,
joining Gen. LOgan's Division Is it also not
fact that the 18th Ind. aud 18th Wis. Joined,
instead of our regiment Icing between them
i know that the formation as given by the Ma
ior is wrong, but am not able TO reetify it, and
so will leave it, hoping some one in position
10 know all the facts will straighten the tangle

gave the honor Of capturing the 9th Miss. bat
terry 10 the llth Ind. and 10Th Wis. aud TO our

in command of the battery To a party Of Con-
federate officers on the hill, apparently recon-
noitering our lines, and said there was one
dressed in blue, who seemed 10 be the principal
man Of the party, aud directed the battery 10
fire on them.
There were three shots fred, and Gen. Geary
himself sighted at least one If not all three of
the guns The General watched the effect Of
the shots, and ] heard him say. THAT struck

he said the officer ia blue had disappeared.
